Yes, our Sequim weather is still amazing. Spring is two months early. All our cherry blossom trees are in full bloom as most of the daffodils are. No tulips opened yet but they are getting there. With all the reports from the East Coast with another blizzard and electricity blackouts, we Sequim residents really feel very blessed. I just hope that we won't get any late frost in April killing the real Cherry blossoms that would be a bummer.
Anyways, here is more good news for Sequim residents and visitors who love skiing, snowboarding or snowshoeing or just enjoy some wonderful time in the snow. Hurricane Ridge Rd and Hurricane Ridge facilities reopened last weekend. A group of about 50 visitors enjoyed their first time visit on Sunday up on Hurricane Ridge - Olympic Park entry fee was waived -, after the road had to be closed over a month ago due to a huge washout of the road. Construction was finished sooner than expected.
March is actually a wonderful month for a visit in the snow on the mountain. Remember Hurricane Ridge is open on the weekends depending on conditions. Make sure to call Olympic National Park for Hurricane Ridge weather update before you get on the road 360-565-3131. This is an automated service which gets updated frequently during the day. Have fun in the snow on Hurricane Ridge.

That is a beautiful photo! The grass is even green. Here in Texas there is nothing blooming yet but we've had some nice weather this week.
Enjoy your beautiful outdoors!
Hello Ron and Mary Nell,
Thanks for visiting again, at least for now in cyberspace. Looking forward to seeing you soon for your Sequim vacation.
Tell you what in the four years we have been living in Sequim now, we never had such an early spring as in 2010.
The flowering cherry blossom trees and early spring flowers are most welcome by Sequim residents but Sequim homeowners have a hard time to accept that the green grass, which you noticed, needs already to be cut at the beginning of March!
